First ever MAC purchases

I've never really understood the hype around MAC. I don't really know many people that use this brand but since becoming a beauty blogger, I've noticed nearly every blogger own's some products from MAC. I gave into the temptation and brought some products from them. I can't comment whether I like them yet but stay tuned for an update! I have the pro longwear foundation and the select moisture cover. What are your MAC fav's? Should I be writing MAC in block capitals? I'll stop saying MAC now. As you can tell I don't have the foggiest! Sshhh kia.

*EDIT before you considering spending a lot of money on a make up purchase do your research! I looked at loads of blog reviews, asked bloggers and watched youtube video's before deciding what to spend my pennies on!

i am a long time lover of mac after my mum introduced me. my view is that it is generally very good quality and generally reasonably priced (although i did push the boat out recently and spend more that i would like to admit to on the limited edition prism bronzer, totally worth it!). I use studio fix power every day and most of my blushes are mac. I also love their tinted balms. although, a heads up if you know anyone going state side get them to buy for you, it is a lot cheaper! x

I love MAC, but I hate spending money. So I look at reviews and whatnot all the time to determine what to buy first. Alot of times brands like Urban Decay or ELF might have a better vslue. I use MatchMaster foundation, and I LOVE it so much better than their other ones. So far my favorite products from them are their tinted lip conditioners and pigments.

I have a few bit and bobs, mostly lipsticks. I don't buy the shadows and blushes normally (though I have a couple blushes) because for the price, you can get better imo and I have easy access to Inglot which I love. But the lipsticks are certainly awesome.

I like shopping at MAC for 'bits', usually things like limited edition blushers (my Wonder Woman one is gorgeous!) and their Paint Pots are great too. I haven't properly tried any of their staples like their foundations, though I've heard they're good! x

I loveeeee MAC but only for treats, I couldn't afford buying their products all of the time! I love their blushers eg. Well Dressed or LadyBlush and their lipsticks are amazing quality. Angel, Creme Cup and Creme d'Nude are some of my faves X

hello Kia :)I just wanted to say that I really love reading your blog posts, I genrally don't actually read most posts (I usually just find myself looking at the pictures!) but I have acually read loads of yours now, and I really love how you illustrate some of them aswell! It adds a really unique touch that I haven't seen before!If you wouldn't mind taking a minute to check out my blog and give your feedback on it because I have only been doing it a little over a month I would really apreciate it so much! It's http://islaay.blogspot.com/ Thankyou xxxx

hello Kia, thanks for the really lovely comment back on my blog! It really means a lot to get lovely comments from people who know loads more about blogging than I do, as I have only been doing it for like a month! And thankyou for the really great advice, I really apreciate it! Oh and thanks for reccomending the #bblogers on titter, I have looked into it and it seems like such a good idea! Thankyou so much for telling me about it! xxxxxxxxxxx

haha ya I used to be into MAC but since I've found other products just as good and less in price. i think the hype w MAC (at least here) is they give 50% discount to make up artists so you see a lot of MUAs using MAC...

I was converted to MAC about a year ago when I broke up with my boyfriend. And since then I have been absolutely in love with it! You get such a good finish with a relatively low price (compared to lancome etc) They've just launched a new skincare range which is also fab so check that out too!!
